Small talk is a very short conversation used by individual to kill time and make the other person feel comfortable in his presence. However, sometimes you should be careful of your topics.
There are certain “safe” topics that people usually discuss.
The weather is probably the number one thing that people who do not know each other well discuss. Sometimes even friends and family members discuss the weather when they meet or start a conversation.
Another topic that is generally safe is current events. As long as you are not discussing a controversial issue, such as a recent law concerning equal rights, it is usually safe to discuss that. Entertainment and sports news is another good topic. If there is something that you and the other person have in common, that may also be acceptable to talk about. For example, if the bus is extremely full and there are no seats available, you might talk about the reasons why. Similarly, people in an office might casually discuss the new paint or furniture.
There are also some subjects that are not considered acceptable when making small talk.
Discussing personal information such as salaries or a recent divorce is unacceptable between people who do not know each other pliments on clothing or hair are acceptable; however, you should never say something (good or bad) about a person's body.
Negative comments about another person not involved in the conversation are also not acceptable. When you do not know a person well, you cannot be sure who their friends are. You do not talk about private issues either, because you do not know if you can trust the other person with your secrets or personal information. Lastly, it is not wise to continue talking about an issue that the other person does not seem comfortable with or interested in.
1．What does the passage mainly tell us
A．Why do people make small talk
B．What topics do people choose when making small talk
C．What is small talk
D．In which situations do people make small talk
2．Which of the following is NOT the best topic when you make small talk
A．Beautiful day, isn't it
B．Did you watch the news today
C．Have you got a boyfriend
D．What do you think of the new computers
3．The underlined part “controversial issue” in the fourth paragraph most probably means________.
A．debatable question B．acceptable question
C．private question D．interesting question
4．Which of the following belongs to small talk that most probably takes place at a bus stop
A．The buses are very slow these days, aren't they
B．Excuse me, which bus should I take to get to the park
C．It looks as if it will rain. I should have taken my umbrella.
D．Can you lend me some money for a ticket
5．How is the text organized
A．①②③④/⑤⑥⑦ B．①②③④/⑤/⑥⑦
C．①/②/③④/⑤⑥⑦ D．①/②③④/⑤⑥⑦
B
It is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather. Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr. Johnson's famous comment that “When two English meet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnson's observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather speak.
Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, the obsession with it can hardly be understood. He argues that “To an outsider, the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.
Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive. Bryson is wrong, he says, because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena. “The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.” According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.
Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather speak among the English. Both commentators, somehow, are missing the point. The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weather speak is a system of signs, which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversations starting with weather speak are not requests for weather data. Rather, they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank “fillers”. In other words, English weather speak is a means of social bonding.
6．The author mentions Dr. Johnson's comment to show that________.
A．most commentators agree with Dr. Johnson
B．Dr. Johnson is famous for his weather observation
C．the comment was accurate two hundred years ago
D．English conversations usually start with the weather
7．What does the underlined word “obsession” most probably refer to
A．A social trend.
B．An emotional state.
C．A historical concept.
D．An unknown phenomenon.
8．According to the passage，Jeremy Paxman believes that________.
A．Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weather
B．there is nothing special about the English weather
C．the English weather attracts people to the British Isles
D．English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty
9．What is the author's main purpose of writing the passage
A．To explain what English weather speak is about.
B．To analyse misconceptions about the English weather.
C．To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.
D．To convince people that the English weather is changeable.
参考答案与解析
一、
1.C 句意：我姐姐反对我的建议，但是我的哥哥支持。in favour of 支持，赞成，符合句意。in honour of为了纪念；in memory of 纪念；in search of寻找。
2．A 句意：——你认为要过多久我才能返回工作岗位？——哦，下周末你就会感觉好很多的。“It will be＋一段时间＋before...”句型表示“要过……时间才……”，符合句意。
3．B 句意：他说他一到家就给你打电话。名词性短语the moment 在此处起连词的作用，用于引导时间状语从句，表示“一……就……”。
4．B 句意：他缺席数周，因此他有很多作业要补。be absent缺席；make up弥补。
5．A 考查动词的词义辨析。reply“回答，答复”；react“反应”；repay“偿还”；request“请求，要求”。根据句意，应选A项。
6．C 考查动词的词义辨析。interrupt表示“打断某人的谈话”；ask“询问”；bother“麻烦”；doubt“怀疑”。根据句意，应选C项。
7．A do yourself a favour“自己照顾自己”，此为固定表达。句意：尤其当妈妈离开时，自己要照顾自己。
8．A 考查动词短语。left out“省略，漏掉”，left behind“把……落在后面”；left off“停止，中断”；left over常用在be left over中表示“剩下”。
9．A apologize to sb. for(doing) sth.与make an apology to sb. for(doing) sth.为固定搭配，表示“因(做了)某事而向某人道歉”。
10．C 句意：我几乎想象不到他们两个人把敌人打败了。imagine后应接动名词作宾语。
二、
1.B 主旨大意题。文章谈到人们进行闲聊时安全的和不被接受的话题。故选B。
2．C 细节理解题。根据文章第六段最后一句在不太熟悉的人们之间不要谈论有关私人问题的话题。故选C。
3．A 词义猜测题。从该词后面所给的例子：比如关于人权的法律方面的问题，可知其意为“有争议的问题”。故选A。
4．A 推理判断题。这四句话虽然都有可能发生在车站。但根据small talk的定义，B、C、D项不属于开始交流所进行的small talk。在车站最有可能进行的small talk是谈论公交服务，所以A项正确。
5．D 逻辑顺序题。第一段定义small talk，第二至四段讲闲谈时的保险话题，第五至七段讲一些闲谈时不能提及的话题。故选D。
【语篇解读】 本文为一篇议论文。由于英格兰的天气是多变的，所以英国人谈论天气被认为是见面或者搭讪的合理开场白是再熟悉不过的了，本文就此从不同的角度进行了解释。
6．D 推理判断题。本文第一句话就给出了答案，作者提到Dr.Johnson的评论旨在说明英国人见面总是以谈论天气开始，故答案为D项。
7．B 词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句话“……那些不常见、难以预料的天气在不列颠群岛几乎是不被人知道的”可知，英国的天气根本不令人兴奋，随之而来的一种情绪也是几乎不能被理解的。obsession可以理解成是一种谈论天气的“强迫症”，故它是一种情绪的状态，所以答案为B项。
8．D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段Jeremy所说的话可知，他反驳Bryson的观点，他认为英格兰的天气是多变而又不确定的，这吸引着英国人和外来者，所以答案为D项。
9．A 作者意图判断题。根据第一段的介绍和最后一段的总结可知，本文主要是解析英国人的weather speak到底是关于什么的。所以答案为A项。B、C两项陈述有误，D项“使人们信服英国的天气是多变的”不是文章的主要谈论内容。
